How do you contact the local tax assessor's office?

Typically, you can find contact information for county tax assessors on the website of a particular county. Collin County, Texas, for instance, has a link on its website that directs to a page dedicated to the local tax assessor-collector that includes a phone number, email address and mailing address.

The duties of a county tax assessor vary by state. In Texas, the tax assessor-collector computes and collects local property taxes, according to the Texas Association of Counties. Texas assessor-collectors are also responsible for collecting certain fees and registering and licensing vehicles of county residents. In many Texas counties, assessor-collectors also act as voter registrars.
